The correct answer here is C. Water molecules are more free to move, so they will be able to engage in rapid and fluid contact with magma. This is in contrast to fixed continental rock, which may have quick initial heat transfer but which tapers off quickly because the rock is not flexible enough to send cooler rock towards the magma.

Explain the connection between earths magnetic field and iron
german
Magnetism is a class of physical phenomena that are mediated by magnetic fields. Electric currents and the magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, which acts on other currents and magnetic moments.The Earth's magnetic field is somewhat caused by the composition of the earth's core which is rich in iron minerals. There is a solid inner core that is made of iron which makes up to 2/3 of the moon's size. The charged metal of the iron produces electric currents, consequently resulting to Earth's magnetic field.
